Rainsbrook Secure Training Centre

Rainsbrook Secure Training Centre is a secure school and housing unit for children and teenagers between Dunchurch and Barby, south of Rugby, in Warwickshire, England. It is next to HM Prison Onley and HM Prison Rye Hill. While designed for a capacity of 87 inmates, it currently houses around 65, a mixture of girls and boys of various ages. It is currently run by the UK subsidiary of American private prison firm MTC. On 19 April 2004 a 15-year-old boy, Gareth Myatt, died while being restrained by guards at the centre, which at the time was run by G4S. Rainsbrook has been criticised for having high levels of violence between inmates and towards staff, with 587 assaults in the 6 months leading up to October 2018. Plans to reduce violence were introduced in 2017, and reportedly led to large reductions in the number of incidents. Conditions in Rainsbrook were criticised by Amanda Spielman, Her Majesty's Chief Inspector for Ofsted, in a letter to Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice Rt Hon Robert Buckland QC, published on 16 December 2020. Incidents listed included: 15-year-olds arriving at the centre were being locked in their rooms for 14 days of coronavirus quarantine and only being allowed out for 30 minutes per day. Children are supposed to have four hours per day out of their rooms. One boy was placed on an ‘incorrect management plan’ in the Reverse Cohort Unit
